Neuroprotective effects of the green tea components theanine and catechins.
The neuroprotective effects of theanine and catechins contained in green tea are discussed. Although the death of cultured rat cortical neurons was induced by the application of glutamic acid, this neuronal death was suppressed with exposure to theanine. The death of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons caused by transient forebrain ischemia in the gerbil was inhibited with the ventricular preadmi...
متن کاملSeasonal Variation of L-Theanine Content in Tea: A Study on Darjeeling Black Tea
To date quality and selling price of a tea mainly depends on its flavour, taste and texture but not on its medicinal properties though a Chinese scientist in 780 AD suggested and acclaimed tea as a divine remedy and supreme gift of God for preserving mental tranquillity. Different studies have been showed that L-theanine is the key component of tea which can make us mentally calm, cool and rela...
متن کاملHealth Benefits of Theanine in Green Tea: A Review
Theanine is an amide exclusively present in tea and some fungi, and is an important bioactive component of tea. The bioactive effects of theanine include antitumour, anti-diabetic, antihypertensive, anti-stress activities, and the ability to improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It also has protective effect on nerve cells against damage induced by environmental neurotoxins as we...
متن کامل[Glutamate transporter mediated increase of antitumor activity by theanine, an amino acid in green tea].
We have confirmed that theanine, a major amino acid in green tea, enhances the antitumor activity of doxorubicin (DOX) without an increase in DOX-induced side effects. We believe that the action of theanine is due to decreases in glutamate uptake via inhibition of the glutamate transporter, intracellular glutathione (GSH) synthesis, GS-DOX conjugate level, and subsequent extracellular transport...
متن کاملFatty acid synthesis from acetate by human liver homogenate fractions.
Evidence obtained during the last few years has shown that fatty acid synthesis in a variety of mammalian tissues (1-4) as well as in yeast (5, 6) and bacteria (7, 8) is not simply the reverse of fatty acid oxidation. This is borne out by the finding that oxidative processes seem to be confined to the mitochondrial portion of the cell, whereas fatty acid synthesis apparently occurs in extramito...
